English as in where it's made or blend type? Stonehenge is a topped Virginia/Burley/Perique blend. The absence of latakia disqualifies it as an English blend but its toppings certainly qualify it as an introductory Lakeland blend.
Cairo doesn't have latakia. Virginia, oriental, and perique.
Yes, sir. Supposedly made with McClelland Orientals. I usually smoke a bowl of the 20th, then a bowl of regular Samara within the next day to compare. I assume the other components are the same (they might not be), but it helps to inform my palate. Both are a very good blend that I don't see mentioned often.
I would certainly agree that Westminster is a pretty heavy flavor, a very traditional English blend. I have to plead acronym ignorance here. What's HHODF?

All I can attest to is that Samarra is criminally under-mentioned. Love that stuff. It proves to me that Greg is a wizard of his craft.
HH Old Dark Fired. My bad if it’s not on the list.I would certainly agree that Westminster is a pretty heavy flavor, a very traditional English blend. I have to plead acronym ignorance here. What's HHODF?

Westminster is an English Blend while Old Dark Fired is a Virginia/Burley. No similarities.
Lol…I probably should have mentioned that it’s Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired.
Was HH Rustica discontinued?
I was interested in picking up a tin to round out some purchases, but haven't seen it available for awhile at a few online vendors.
Normally, I would guess it was just out of stock but one vendor used the phrase "this item is no longer available."
The US got one run in 2020 that I bought those from. Still available in Europe I believe.
Thank you.
I will keep it in mind next time I purchase from Europe. Generally, I save my tobacco budget for a larger overseas order to justify the shipping (and have no complaints about the shipping time).
Plus adding things to the cart until you hit the next shipping level price is entertaining ... to me at least.
Here are my favorites, that’s about all I can offer.
Jackknife Plug
Triple Play
Temple Bar
Haddos Delight
Samarra
Maltese Falcon
Sixpence
I’m still exploring more of his VA/VaPer based blends but I’m giving them at least 5 years in the cellar to mature.

Just great, now I'm on a massive unicorn hunt. It never ends..lol
I smoke daily and cellar Maltese Falcon (G.L. Pease). The tin note brings me back to my teenage years in Adak, Alaska where I would use World War II-era Quonset huts as my hunting campsite. The sweet and sour aroma is appealing to me, especially when paired with a canteen of Johnnie Walker Black label; both represent the smokiness of a campfire (who doesn't like the smell of a campfire?). I smoke Latakia blends in my straight billiard pipes because there's less gurgle-the worst thing is the taste of Latakia gurgle from a bent pipe.
you know the only times I've heard people not like something of his is when they just don't like that style of blend period.
